Rado Diastar 81 enquiry
Not often seen over this side of the forum but I have a query that I hope your combined knowledge can help me to resolve.
I recently received this extremely rare Rado Diastar LED but the movement appears to be missing a number of key parts.
Two questions then, if it can be fixed, is there somebody in the UK capable of doing the work, and secondly, if it can't be fixed, is this a common movement that I may be able to source for cannibalisation purposes?

Yeah, I bought the replacement movement and it works ok. I wear it occasionally for working in the garden, etc.
The dial is in a terrible condition so the search is on for a new one.
